This is far from a complete listing, but we have chosen some outstanding projects and outputs that will represent the diversity of scholarship, research, creative work, and public service activities in our university. These outputs were made possible with the support of government, particularly the Department of Science and Technology, and the University. The wide selection of topics covers Education and Culture, Disaster Risk Reduction and Resiliency, Environmental Protection, Food and Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure, Advanced Science and Technology, Transportation Solutions and Energy, and Health and Wellness. We hope that the presentations will convince you that UP's faculty and researchers are doing important work for our country. Congratulations to the researchers and the OVCRD organizing committee!
